In order to conserve water and energy the feasibility of fluming necks with treated bird chiller water instead of potable water was examined. No significant differences were found in shelf‐life, total aerobic counts, levels of fecal coliforms, or salmonellae incidence between necks flumed with potable water and necks flumed with diatomaceous earth‐filtered chiller water or filtered, chlorinated chiller water. It was concluded that the use of potable water is not essential in all phases of broiler processing and that necks could be flumed safely with either filtered chiller water or filtered, chlorinated chiller water.
